A Dork’s Tale $15.24 I spun around to see who just yelled and saw the large man running at me like a barbarian warrior. The first thing that I thought was Thank goodness it isn’t the woman coming at me. The second thing to cross my mind was that my martial arts training would have been a good thing right about then. It was just my luck that all I could remember at the moment was the Lamaze training that we went through when Cindy was pregnant with Leah. I began my breathing exercises… Twenty-two years in marriage is definitely the “School of Hard Knocks.” The tuition is pride. The lesson is humility. The degree is Dork (not to be compared to doctorate). The reward is priceless. Lou’s zany antics never seem to end. Like any predicament, Lou’s experiences contain valuable lessons. Come learn hard lessons the easy way…with a smile! |

A Planning Guide for You and Your Garden $10.17 ABOUT THE BOOK: While this planning handbook has been designed for first-time gardeners, we think that part-time and experienced gardeners will also find it useful. The book includes information covering the entire process of planning a garden as well as handy worksheets for keeping track of and focusing on important elements of the overall execution and maintenance. These worksheets provide considerable flexibility for readers who may tailor them, as needed, to individual requirements. This handbook is an excellent place for gardeners to begin before buying any plants, digging any holes, or hiring any help. While basic information about plants and gardens, along with valuable pointers about how to garden, are covered, readers should note that this is not an all-inclusive textbook on gardening. The information is general and simple and is presented through a set of mini-lectures, each accompanied by a series of questions and worksheets to help focus readers on their gardens. Two appendices are also provided which include a list of books and miscellaneous sources to help readers get started or expand the current sources for experienced gardeners. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Sharon retired as an emeritus full professor of the Biology Department of William Paterson University of New Jersey in 2004 after teaching for 29 years. After retiring from teaching botany, field biology, environmental science and ecology, she has begun a second profession.

Excerpt: Kevin Ferguson (born February 8, 1974), better known as Kimbo Slice, is a Bahamian-American mixed martial arts fighter. He became famous for street fights which were spread on the Internet, leading Rolling Stone to call him “The King of the Web Brawlers”. Slice left the underground fighting scene and signed a professional contract with EliteXC in 2007. After EliteXC declared bankruptcy in 2008, Slice became a free agent. Slice competed in The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights, where he lost in his first fight to veteran fighter, and eventual series winner, Roy Nelson.

Stop Working “IN” Your Martial Arts School
When you started your martial arts school you were already an expert in your art. But you probably knew very little about actually running a business.
So you had to learn to do everything – the filing, bookkeeping, data entry, setting appointments, computer maintenance, etc.
You took everything on and soon found that not only were you not spending time on growing your school, you felt like you didn’t want to give up control of any part of your business to someone else.
But it is important for the growth of your school that you stop spending time on things you should not be doing – even if you are good at them and enjoy doing them!
You need to understand the importance of letting an expert handle those things that you should not be doing so you can focus more on growing your school.
You might have one or two people helping out at the dojo, but do you continue that policy consistently through out your business? Take a quick assessment:
- Do you keep your own books?
- Do you answer the phones, read your own email and mail?
- Do you handle customer service calls yourself?
- Are you the web master for your school website?
- Do you maintain your student database yourself?
There are many other, similar questions I could ask but I think you see my point. If you answered yes to any of these then you are still working IN your school.
Working IN your school is doing anything that is the day to day operations of your business.
Working ON your business is doing those creative things such as marketing and sales strategies, finding ways to increase student retention – anything that grows your martial arts school.
Most people get this – in theory. But they can’t get past it in practice. You feel stuck in that place, bogged down with day to day stuff and fires that continually need to be put out – not knowing how to get out. Not knowing where to start.
I have developed a video course that shows you a simple system to help you move from working IN your business to working ON your business. It has everything you need including Done For You examples.
You can repair your own car or computer or remodel your own kitchen but first you will have to learn which tools to use, how to use them, make mistakes, go through the whole trial and error thing – or you can hire someone to do it for you.
It is the same with learning how to make that transition from working IN your business to working ON your business. You can take years and learn what I’ve learned and do it yourself or you can allow yourself to take the fast track and start growing your school NOW!
